ingredients

  • 450 gram self raising soda bread flour
  • 450 milliliter buttermilk
  • 1/2 tsp ground sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 250 C.

  • Step 2

    Sieve all ingredients into a mixing bowl.

  • Step 3

    Make a well in the middle and add all the buttermilk.

  • Step 4

    Mix together with your hands to make a soft dough.

  • Step 5

    When it comes together, transfer it to a floured surface and continue to bring it together a bit more. Add some more flour if needed. It should be soft and not too sticky.

  • Step 6

    Pat the dough into a round shape (around 4 cm deep) and cut a deep cross in the middle with a knife. Transfer onto a floured baking sheet and sprinkle some flour on top of the dough.

  • Step 7

    Bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 250 degrees. Turn it down to 200 degrees and bake for another 25 minutes.

  • Step 8

    Cool on a wire rack. The bottom of the bread should sound hollow when tapped. Serve with lots of butter.
